For decades, diagnostic imaging has focused on freezing the motion of organs to improve clarity and accuracy. Today, we stand on the verge of a paradigm shift: not only can we suppress motion, we can now visualize it in unprecedented detail—both in CT and MRI.
This session explores the most recent technological breakthroughs that make this new era of motion imaging possible.

Panel discussion: Beyond Motion Artifacts: How Dynamic Imaging Will Transform CT & MR Practice
Stefan Ulzheimer, Nürnberg / Germany
Matteo Stefanini, Roma / Italy
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the limitations of conventional motion-management strategies in CT and MR and the diagnostic consequences of residual motion artifacts.
- Explain how recent hardware and software innovations — including wide-area detector CT, dual-source architectures, and dynamic MR sequences — enable imaging of moving organs with unprecedented fidelity.
- Evaluate the role of AI across modalities, from reconstruction and noise suppression to quantitative post-processing tools such as FFRct.
- Compare emerging dynamic acquisition approaches that capture, characterize, and interpret motion versus traditional motion-suppression methods.
- Discuss early clinical evidence demonstrating improvements in image quality, diagnostic confidence, and patient experience with next-generation CT and MR systems.
- Identify future opportunities for dynamic imaging in both cardiac and whole-body applications, and outline practical steps for integrating these technologies into clinical workflows.
